Hard time finding this size tire

Anyone happen to know where I could find 245/50/15. The only thing I've found is a race slick.
I wouldn't be opposed to upgrading to 16 or 17" wheels if I could find this style - but I haven't had any luck.

Re: Hard time finding this size tire

you try searching for 235 or 255 instead? Might be more sizes available and won't change the diameter much

Re: Hard time finding this size tire

The unfortunate thing is the aftermarket follows the OEMs for tire sizes. As we get away from smaller wheels on new cars less and less options are available for the old stuff. Even 16 and 17" are getting limited. You might be stuck buying a different size wheel. If that is a multi piece wheel you may be able to put different hoops on the centers
